We Want a Sign!

The Pharisees and the Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
He replied,"When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away.
Matthew 16:1-4

Jesus has already done many signs by this time, but still people keep asking Him to do more and more. Some people say that their faith would be better if they could just see these signs, yet the Bible says otherwise. Exodus explicitly tells us about the acts of idolatry the people of Israel committed even after seeing all the wonderful miracles God did in order to free them from Egypt. Human beings are so hard-hearted that even seeing miracles continuously won't produce in them a love, fear, and faith in God that He desires. There can be a danger in putting too much emphasis on seeing miracles in your own life too. A Christian might unknowingly put his own faith in the miracles rather than in God. If he were to see a miracle, great faith! If God doesn't do one for a while, faith withers! God wants us to love Him and to put our faith in Him, not in the wonders that He does.
